BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide, often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, and irinotecan, either as monotherapies or in combination with ramucirumab, are currently standard second-line treatments for GC. However, the efficacy of these therapies is limited, necessitating the development of new…
CONCLUSIONS: Even though the effects of NAC were observed in lowering the duration of the period and decreasing the frequency of bowel movements in gastroenteritis, these results did not reach statistical significance. Hence, the data from this study suggest that NAC may not effectively reduce the duration of diarrhea and the frequency of bowel movements…
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to Coulter and QBC®, mean HemoCue® measured Hb concentrations were lower and, compared to the Coulter or QBC® methods, had an overall tendency to measure lower Hb concentrations with increasing Hb concentrations. Upper and lower limits of agreement were wider than the predefined clinically acceptable limits of ± 0.5 g/dL. HemoCue® should be…
CONCLUSION: Intensive water-salt diet nursing interventions effectively control blood pressure, reduce volume load, and mitigate complications in chronic renal failure patients. This approach should be widely implemented in clinical practice.
CONCLUSION: The use of the DT showed significant improvements in pain and function compared to the current standard therapy. These results are highly relevant for clinical practice in the treatment decision-making for patients with anterior knee pain as the DT bridges effectively gaps in the healthcare systems.
CONCLUSION: The low-carbohydrate/high-monounsaturated fatty acid formula improved post-gastrectomy night-time hypoglycaemia, but not daytime glycaemic variability or hypoglycaemia. Thus, further investigation of nutritional optimization is required.
CONCLUSION: The regulation of the endometrial immune environment emerges as one of the leading innovative strategies to facilitate embryo implantation and enhance the overall performance of assisted reproductive therapies (ART). Based on these findings, endometrial immune profiling could become an essential part of routine ART practice.
BACKGROUND: The management of locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) and oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPCa) remains a clinical challenge. The heterogeneous nature of PCa prompts a need for precision treatment. This study aims to verify whether genomic biomarker-guided neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced PCa and OMPCa can result in an improvement in the pathological responses and…
CONCLUSIONS: Positive effects on both primary and secondary outcomes from the TRE intervention were seen when adjusting for covariate imbalance. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that TRE significantly improves fatigue in people with MS. Furthermore, the current study underlines the potential effect of bias-adjustment, when covariate imbalance is present. However, further research is needed…
CONCLUSIONS: We envisage that this study will help support evidence-based medicine and inform clinical practice guidelines on the optimal rate of sequencing of anti-heart failure therapies. A third placebo arm was considered, but costs would be too much and not providing study participants with therapies with known morbidity and mortality benefits may be unethical, in…
